Hey Guys! Just curious if anyone can tell me what the maximum waist size will fit into Sube Classic Cobra seats. I got to ride in Tom Keiser's MK1 and he has them, fit pretty well, just curious if there are any of you guys that are "Big Boned" such as myself 40" waist, or larger who want to admit it :eek: and are running with these seats.
Thanks in advance!

Ben, I've got a MK-II, with FFR Street-Performer Seats. I'm 6',0" 230 lbs,40" waist,30" inseam.
I am glad my legs aren't any longer, and that my ass isn't any fatter.
Given my choices, I'm glad I got the seats I did, as they are really comfortable.
Hope this helps, Randy Richards

Ben - I'm about the same size as Randy, but with a 32" inseam. Mine is a MKII as well and I also have the Street Performers. Its a tight enough fit that I have to take my wallet out of my back pocket before I sit, but once I'm in there, they are pretty comfortable.

Not 'big boned', but for reference I'm 34 waist, 34 inseam, 175 lbs. (big frame with no meat). Comfortably snug, and with the seat all the way back, plenty of leg room. Much more secure feeling than the low backs.

Which seats are you interested in? The sube classic and the clubmans (street performers) are two entirely diferent designs. I have the clubmans aka street performers (not narrowed), and with a 38" waist, and 32" inseam, it is about maxed out. FWIW, I also have to take my wallet out for long rides.

I have got to ride the stock seats FFR suplies,sube classics, and the street performers, just curious if any body bigger(40" waist or larger) has been riding around in them and if they are comfortable on long hauls.
Thanks for the responses guys.

Thanks Bill,
I rode in Ken Bush's FFR and they seem fine, although I was on the passenger side and my knees were in the dash board,bet it would be more comfy on the drivers side.
Thanks!
